WHEREAS, on December 7, 2021, at a noticed public meeting, the HSPB voted
to recommend that the City Council amend the district to better reflect the significant
historic resources therein and bring the district into compliance with national standards
and the City's updated historic preservation ordinance; and

informational open house for property owners in the LPBHD to share the HSPB's findings
and recommendations; and - •

Springs to consider the HSPB's recommendations was given, in accordance with
applicable law; and

to consider the HSPB's recommendations. At said hearing the City Council reviewed and
considered all the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project,
including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.

SECTION 3. The Context Statement for the LPBHD reflecting the historic
significance of the district shall be as follows:
The Las Palmas Business Historic District developed over several
decades from the 1920's through the 1960's. It contains noteworthy
buildings designed in a variety of architectural styles reflecting the
evolution of prevailing architectural taste from traditional "revival" styles to
modern. Its significance lies in its ability to reflect this evolutionary period
in commercial development along the City's principal commercial corridor
as the City rapidly expanded beyond the original small village "core".
SECTION 4. The Period of Significance for the LPBHD shall be 1920 to 1969.
SECTION 5. The following table reflects the official contributing and non-
contributing status of each property that was in the original LPBHD boundary, those
properties to be retained within the district and those to be removed as a part of this
amendment.
